Stonehenge: Aliens or Druids?


Stonehenge is located in England, in a county called Wiltshire (same name of my complex that I live in). It was built around 2500 B.C by what many believe are Druids. There is speculation that humans could not have moved these stones, but the question begs who else could have done it?. No one knows exactly what is was used for, but people believe that it was a burial ground, a ritual (prayer) site, an astronomical observatory (basically, a place to watch/measure stars and the sky), or some combination of all three. If you want to know more do google search to find out more. Next class, I want all of you to tell me what you learned about Stonehenge and how it relates to the Druids.

julia block 7 : i think the way the rocks are placed is quite intresting, how they are placed in a circle in the middle of a field. and i wonder if humans placed the rocks like this or who could have done it

Gee, that is pretty cool. With the humongously colossal rocks on top of one another. That is pretty cool. Hey, The shadows in figure 2 look like a... never-mind. Haha, I like the storm clouds in figure 1, ("Help! The aliens are coming") Wait a second, those aren't storm clouds, never mind. Are you in the picture with the tourists?
